The goal of the Dean of Students Office is to help retain the student by collaborating with faculty, staff, parents and other campus and community resources to address the diverse needs of UWF students.

What Should I Do if I'm Concerned About a Student?

If you are worried about the well-being of a student, you may share those concerns with the Dean of Students Office by:

• Completing an Incident Report
• Contacting the Dean of Students Office by email at deanofstudents@uwf.edu, by phone at 850.474.2384 or in person in Building 18, Room 150B.

Class Absence Notification

Unforeseen events or circumstances may occur that cause a student to be absent from class. These could include illness, bereavement, accident or a catastrophic event such as a fire. If such issues arise, students are encouraged to notify their instructors as soon as possible in order to apprise them of the circumstances leading to their absence from classes and to develop a plan, with a timetable, to make up missed coursework. The handling of any excuses for absences is left to the discretion of the professor responsible for the course.

Professors may require students to provide documentation to the Dean of Students Office following an absence. If required, students should contact the office to discuss the circumstances of the absence, submit supporting documentation and review available supportive resources.
